(54)	Attachment system for coupling combustor liners to a carrier of a turbine combustor

(57) A system for attaching liners (12) to a carrier (14) for forming inner surfaces (16) of turbine combustor (18). The system may include one or more liners (12) attached to a carrier (14) using connectors (44) engaged to the carrier (14) on a cold side of the liner (12) and may include one or more liners (12) attached to the carrier (14) using connectors (43) engaged to a hot side of the liners. The carrier (14) may include one or more access ports (32) for accessing from the hot side connectors (43) engaged to the carrier (14) on the cold side. In at least one embodiment, the system may include attaching all liners (12), except for one liner (12), to a carrier (14) using connectors (44) coupled to the carrier (14) on the cold side and may include attaching the one liner (12) to the carrier (14) using connectors (44) coupled to the carrier (14) on the hot side.
